...from his father in 1996. He told them the incinerator had broken a while back. Each day thereafter brought new appalling discoveries of bodies, some dating back 15 years or more. Fifty-seven corpses were found crammed into six burial vaults. (Each vault is designed to hold just one adult-size coffin.) So far, a skull and torso have been found in the Marshes' pond, where locals used to fish...
...church that preaches the impermissibility of so many forms of consensual, adult sex simultaneously tolerate, ignore or cover up the sexual abuse of children by its own priests? Pedophilia is not a failing; it is not some imperfect but victimless expression of sexuality among consenting adults. It is a crime.

...opportunity to provide food for thought, so to speak, about Arab culture. This he does with engaging humor and scant respect for many Arab governments. He intersperses juicy recipes and equally juicy stories about growing up in Nablus and attending conferences around the world as an adult. He explains how to make falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush and lesser-known dishes. At the same time, the reader picks up knowledge that is not strictly culinary. For example, that baba means coquettish and ghanoush is, roughly, dissolute - adjectives that seem unlikely for an aubergine purée but which Jamal explains...
